Adventures in Teaching Kids How to Code

Competitions

The Easter holidays are here and to celebrate we are giving away some goodies to our Code Clubs! Our easter eggs have hatched and chicks are on the loose, hiding around our website for you to find!

Every day we’ll be posting a clue on Twitter and Facebook, which may help lead you to the hidden chick on codeclub.org.uk. When you’ve discovered the location of the hidden chick, reply to the post with a link or description of the page where you spotted it to be in for a chance to win!

Each day, we’ll pick a winner at random from those who correctly identify the location of the hidden chick! The winners will get a goody bag full of posters and stickers for their club.

We’ll be using #CodeClubEaster in each tweet, so good luck, and happy hunting!

Partridges in pear trees are very nice, but we think that winning Code Club badges and stickers for your club is even better!

Welcome to the Twelve Days of Code Club: from 13 December to 24 December, we’ll be giving you the chance to win some lovely prizes for your club. The prizes will be different each day, but could include badges, stickers, posters and some other surprises too!

To be in for a chance to win, all you need to do is keep an eye on the @CodeClub Twitter feed. Each day we will be tweeting details of how to enter and win.*

This is our way of spreading some Christmas cheer and saying thank you to all our fabulous club hosts and volunteers for running fantastic Code Clubs this year.

*In order to be in with a chance of winning, you must be following the Code Club Twitter account, so that if you are selected, we can DM you for your address! All swag will be posted by our Christmas elves in the new year.

This month, Curious? Festival is back at King’s Cross on Saturday 23 July. Powered by the King’s CrossKnowledge Quarter, Curious? is a festival offering a fusion of science, culture and art.

And as part of the festival, we’re teaming up with Central Saint Martins to offer children a chance to enter a coding competition to win a VR headset!All you have to do to be in with the chance of winning is to have a go at customising Code Club’s “Rock Band” project, creating your own hip hop soundtrack and customising your stage to make something totally unique! Here’s an example.

Once you’ve created your own version of the Rock Band project, you’ll need to upload it to the competition’s Scratch Studio. There you’ll also be able to check out the other entries.
